Eugenics is a policy of actively selecting for certain genetic characteristics.

It's a question for GR. Gravity is pertinent. Any path has to follow a geodesic and they are not Euclidean straight. I'm not, and the OP is not, talking about locally flat. They said "truly" flat, which I take means no arc over any distance. If you care to elaborate, I''m all ears.

Petrodollars may well move to solardollars. Africa could do well with that sort of currency and help reduce the grinding problems there. Your OP is a hopeful post in the right direction from where I'm standing right now.

Well, it'll take some power away from those I mentioned and may make things more stable globally. Western greed unwittingly supports wealth redistribution by them buying the cheapest goods and exploiting those countries... our greed empowers them in the end. I'm of the belief this is a good thing because it leads to a more level playing field.

Yes, in practice they are becoming increasingly pragmatic. I buy quite a bit of consumer stuff from China and the service is indistinguishable from their Western counterparts. I am quite happy that they are engaging more and playing their part in the world at large. It is an evolving country. I think they are going the right way, changing as circumstances permit; evolution not revolution.

Thinking about it , if China gets the lead on this, the US, Russia and the Middle East are possibly going to see quite a power shift away from them through the shift in energy sources. Energy is a critical currency. I can't see that being a bad thing, even though China is communist.

The geometry of our spacetime is non-Euclidean, so two objects can't have as short a distance between them as two objects in a hypothetical Euclidean space. The paths are always curved.

'Construct' would be better imo because it removes any negative connotations. 'Illusion' should only be used when the perceived image disagrees with the facts or what is commonly agreed to be seen, depending on context..

Here's a IUPAC pdf that might help. ICTNS-On-the-use-of-italic-and-roman-fonts-for-symbols-in-scientific-text (1).pdf

Here's something on hyphenating: https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/punctuation/hyphen Concerning 'remagnetize' etc,, I would personally write without hyphens unless I wanted to emphasise my use of the various prefixes to a reader.

Yes

The Shorter Oxford will more than suffice. It's probably about £60.

Yeah, it's a snip at 800 quid. I would look at the book mention in my quote above. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Oxford-English-Dictionary-second-Volumes/dp/0198611862

I have found it invaluable too for a few conditions I've had, particularly with thoughts from the like-afflicted and managing chronic conditions. I think, in this subject, each thread needs to be assessed on its own merits.

it's not where you posted, it's the way you worded the question that left us unsure whether you were asking an academic question or seeking advice. As I''m sure you understand, it would be irresponsible to give medical advice.

You can get combined aluminium-magnesium antacids that apparently reduce the incidence of constipation and diarrhoea but I definitely wouldn't go self-medicating and experimenting with combining different preparations. Chronic heartburn or GERD shouldn't be treated lightly because it can lead to Barrett's Oesophagus which can lead to oesophogeal cancer if ignored for a long time. In a nutshell, one should go to a doctor and get diagnosed and prescribed properly... because you are worth it.

There could have been a glitch in your W8 or, possibly, there are newer protocols in the forum software or routines that a W8 phone has problems with. The software here seems quite advanced.

You could try refreshing your phone or even just rebooting it.

Hi You can introduce yourself here: There should be an Edit Profile button top right of your profile page.

You resemble that remark. I only got a Windows phone because I wanted a big phone (5.7") and the price was good. I use Android phones as well. I'm too poor to join the Apple ecosystem and there's lots i don't like about Apple. One irrational reason is that they are too trendy for me. They are good for those groups because they are setup well from the off and the paths to getting things done are relatively straightforward.

You should be on W10 now. Don't you just hate Linux fanboys and iPhones are for old people and computer neophytes.

I have a Windows phone. What browser?
